My only reason, to impress other people.
Nope! The reason can be to reach freedom where money is just a tool. There's nothing about impressing people. I know a techie couple from the southern state of my country who had achieved the financial freedom by investing all their life savings into the stock market during 2020 COVID time. They live a very modest life without any showoff but they don't have to report to a boss anymore. They don't have to sit in front of their laptops every morning. Freedom is the goal and money is just a tool.
There are only three things that receives loved unconditionally, one is women, second is children and the last one is dogs. I, as a man, must have everything especially money in order to be loved.
I can only vouch for the last one - the Dog. Rest all are love with conditions.
Even I don't really like to sacrifice everything to make money, but as a man, I'm forced to do that.
I've sacrificed my time, my happiness, my energy, my friends, my moral, etc just to earn as much as possible.
We all are doing it! You are not alone! Unless and until we are able to reach the financial freedom, we have to deal with it.
